Not sure why all the angst with 2005-2008 CAL guys. They are not stealing anything! They have as much control over what happens at the airline as any other pilot does...zero. You show up and bid what you can. Some of you guys act like the junior CAL guys are scaling the Willis Tower at night and writing policy for the airline.
The only difference between 2000 and 2013 is merger policy and how it is applied, or spun as one may have it. The issue is the middle ground. Not straight relative seniority in 2000/2013 and not straight longevity in 2000/2013.
